Investment Q&A

Q: Peter, Scorpio Mining has been droping {since Feb. @2.17 to 0.60 currently.Are their problems temporary or more serious? What would suggest?

Q: Here's a different question. In the next 1 to 10 years when would you lock into a 7 year interest rate for a mortgage? Or would you?

Q: With the announcement Thursday from ACQ that they had the strongest quarter to date and increased their dividend, any opinion on why the stock price dropped? Is this temporary? do you see the share price rising because of the profitable quarter just reported. Appreciate you, your service would appreciate your thoughts on Auto Canada.

Q: Peter, what is your recommendation on PSN?

Q: Appreciate any thoughts on Wavefront Technology (WEE)

Q: Hello,
Recently two of my holdings, MMT and POE, were moved to the Venture 30. What does this mean for the companies, if anything?

Q: I'm considering picking up some shares of First Capital Realty (FCR) to diversify my portfolio and get some exposure to real estate. I know very little about real estate investments though so I hope you could give me some pointers. Currently, interest rate is low and real estate asset value is relatively high, both of which are good for financing. In the medium term, real estate prices may cool down and interest rate will go up. How would this affect the stock price? In general, how sensitive is the stock price to the overall real estate asset value?

Is real estate a good investment to get in right now as a long-term investment? (I have a >10-year horizon)

Also what's your view on REITs? And US REIT vs. Canadian REIT?

Thanks
Dennis

Q: hello:
first, I am a brand new member. so, I'll withhold any opinions until a rational one can be discerned, though I am totally impressed with the ability to ask and have questions answered. Peter, I have a medium position in SGC (Sunridge Gold) that is a long way underwater. Your opinion please.

Q: Peter, could I please have your comments on Precison Drilling, PD.Would this be a good time to initiate a position given that at some point capex budgets will likely increase. Thanks, David

Q: our advice on Archer Daniels would be appreciated. Namely the weakness is weather related or there is more damage under the hood. This is for opening a position.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Peter, Can you please update me on NKL - Prophecy Platinum? Thanks in advance.

Q: Peter - what are your thoughts about the supplies to the automotive industry such as Magna and Delphi. I know about and have invested in Linamar in the past during the 2008-09 crisis because of the family behind them but Delphi in particular looks interesting to me because of the increase in share of content per vehicle for components that might be hard to replicate in markets where production is rising. I would appreciate your input as you always have an excellent perspective! Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter - I'm wondering about Telus - my children were given stocks when Telus first sold on the market. With Canada being the most expensive country for phone service, I'm wondering what might happen to Telus if the rates were to come down in line with other countries?
Thanks
Heather

Q: re: cus

well, the companies period of quiet has been broken with a very bad quarter - albeit with the likely prospect of a good earnings recovery for the remainer of the year...

my question is about the LACK of pre-announcement (or warning) about the disappointing quarterly earnings...

in your experience is this a red flag when considering where to put our hard earned investment dollars (the lack of managerial warning is disconcerting point)...

thanks..

Q: Hello Peter: Your thoughts on Genworth MIC please. Thank you Barbara

Q: Hi Peter and Company,

I've been holding NML, prepared to be patient in the current resource climate and through the various transitions to actual production. They seem to be proceeding well allying themselves with Tata Steel and contracting for rail access. I'm down overall but, as said, prepared to be patient. What's your take? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, would you please review GNV. The price dropped after the quarterly report was issued August 9. Thanks
